When I'm depressed, it's as though there is a great, transparent barrier between myself and the rest of the world, and I'm unable to interact very successfully with things on the other side.
Oh, huh. I'm so glad that's not just me. I mean, I'm sure it's that way for a lot of people (indeed, when my best friend goes down I'm on the OTHER side of the glass, and it's immensely terrifying), but I've never encountered anyone else who put it in those exact terms.
I concur with the commenter above: this was a brave post. Thank you. It was... illuminating, in ways I can't actually put my finger on. I just have a feeling I'll turning back to this in my head for insight at some point.
